Today, my boyfriend still doesn't "believe" in Valentine's Day. Every year I feel stupid for caring about this. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend forgot our anniversary. But it's okay; I wasn't expecting anything after he forgot my birthday, Valentine's Day, and my name. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he only loves me sometimes. He explained what days he chooses to love me and what days he doesn't want to. I told him that's not how it works. He disagreed. He's 27. He still doesn't understand why this is a problem. FML
Today, it’s my birthday. My boyfriend of almost 4 years completely forgot. FML
Today, I pointed out to my boyfriend how Valentine's day, my birthday, and our one-year anniversary were all coming up in the next few weeks. He then promptly broke up with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided that lunch with his guys was more important than spending time with me. This is the second year in a row that he has cancelled on me. How do I remember the date so well? It's my birthday. FML
Today, it's the day after my birthday. My boyfriend got me nothing. Nor did he do anything for me for Valentine's Day. Whereas I got him an $85 game for his birthday, planned a surprise visit to his family so he could see them and his pets, and spent all day Valentine's Day making the house spotless, as well as cakes. FML
Today, I realized my boyfriend is so seldom romantic that it actually makes me uncomfortable when he says something cute. FML
Today, I offered to pay my boyfriend to buy me flowers. He still refused. FML
Today, my husband declared that since our youngest son happened to be born on our anniversary, we no longer needed to celebrate. He reasoned that it would be “wrong” to make his special day about us. Truth is he’s just a cheap unromantic sod. FML
Today, it’s Valentine’s Day. My boyfriend promised me that instead of a packed chain restaurant we would have “dinner under the stars.” We ended up having Slurpees and Slim Jims in the 7-Eleven parking lot. He called me ungrateful for not appreciating his “romantic gesture.” FML

If he’s forced to be romantic once a year for what has become an absurdly commercialised and quite frankly grotesque celebration of romance, then maybe he’s got a point. Judge him on whether or not he is romantic and shows that he loves you all year round and let him off the commercial bandwagon that it’s become.

Valentine's Day is a bullshit made up holiday where they can jack up the prices of roses and dinner. If he doesn't show you he loves you the other 364 days, he's the problem. If you don't appreciate what he does the other 364 days, you're the problem

Maybe you are...? I mean what do you expect from the day? Why is it that important to you? And why can't you be romantical all year round instead?

the worst two nights to go out is Valentine’s Day and New Year’s

the problem here is that he thinks valentine's day is something you do... for yourself. It doesn't matter a single bit if you "believe" in it (aka don't wanna spend an extra 100$). She clearly wants an excuse to celebrate your relationship. IMO find someone who actually wants to celebrate it too

It's valid that Valentine's Day is important to you. Talk to him about it. As long as he shows his love for every day, at least that takes out the sting of his ambivalence of this day. It doesn't have to be a commercial day, it can be seen as a reminder for many to appreciate their partners and important people in their lives.
